[Vibrant General] ntoxicated:
Oh man, I'm getting REALLY annoyed by that. It's bad enough that you can only turn the screen on to use the phone by using the power button that is in such a stupid position.

I'm really starting to miss the Home button on my iPhone.
[Vibrant General] zDisturbed1:
Actually any of the 3 hard buttons will wake the phone so you can use vol up and down as well
[Vibrant General] Maverick777:
The volume keys aren't waking up mine. :confused:
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
you had me excited for a second... Volume keys do not work on mine to wake the phone.
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
Same only three power lock key worked and I wish there was a setting to have the lights on ask the time screen is on
[Vibrant General] MINUS Stl:
Right. Vol keys don't wake the phone. It would be nice in theory, but adjusting volume (listening to music) with the phone in your pocket would then wake the phone and possibly allow the screen to unlock. I know that's a bit of a stretch, but being a touchscreen right next to your leg.....it could easily happen.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I can't believe there isn't a setting for this. The lights turn off too quickly. There should've been a low-power 'Always On W/Screen' option.

I wish they would've opted for hardware buttons, to be honest. That way, you can at least feel them out in the dark.

I'm new to the Android development scene, but would it be possible for someone to develop a market app to address the issue?
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Why did the US carrier phones had the Home button removed.

Now they are incompatible with the regular Galaxy S firmware, and are hard to use in the dark.

Just stupid.

But 4 hard buttons are not a good solution either. A large Home button is.
[Vibrant General] Jon C:
I like the idea of a single hard button (the N1 trackball, the iPhone home button, the Galaxy S home button), and I agree: it was a stupid decision to remove that button.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
dude, stop whining like a lil biscuit. the power button as screen on/off method is fabulous and quick. Loving the 4 touch buttons. Yes I understand the lights go off quite quickly but don't worry, i already have and you will also remember their position.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Power Button on top of the phone is more ergonomic.

Big Home Button is also more ergonomic and you don't have to "remember" it.

I think the US carriers wanted space to slap their branding, so they removed the large Home button. Plus, the 4 buttons make it harder to use international firmware, which will likely advance faster than the US-only versions.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
Here's what I ahve so far. Pretty much everything's customed from the boot screen to the boot animation, to the theme, and even the icon. I even edit apps to match my color scheme.

Here's a video of what I've got so far, and I've attached some thumbs as well:

[YOUTUBE]2XpB8z-Zevo[/YOUTUBE]

My question is, what do you guys think that I could do to make it look even better? There are some really creative minds here (seeing what you guys have been doing was what inspired me to root my phone and start doing this to begin with), so I'd really like some of your input.

Thanks in advance!

Press the mic button, the one who started the call must press the mic button to be heard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vandam500:
Actually I'm pretty sure the one that received the call is the one that has to press the button.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ride2kmax:
I messed up my xperia. I was trying a micro-sim card on to transfer some contacts and it got stuck. I kind of pulled the sim hard and i guess some of the pins that read the sim card bend. I know big mistake but i needed to transfer contacts that moment and i was away from a computer.

Now when i put a sim card it doesnt detected. It says no sim.

I called Sony Ericsson and they want to charge me 187 plus shipping both ways for any repair needed. I think thats too expensive and i was wondering if anybody here knows a reputable place where i could send it to get it fix.

Thanks for any help in advance.

UPDATE::8/10/2010 v2.11.3

I finally managed to get this themed after some direction from MicroMod777.

I did not create any images. I only take credit for selecting the specific images already created/pulled by other devs and building the zip.

The status bar is the only major change in this morph. The lockscreen is altered very little by outlining the log sliders (as you can see in the attachment).

Special thanks to the real devs; MicroMod777 (For theming direction), Enomther (for an amazing ROM), stericson (for everything), cyanogen (for everything), etc.

This is a flashable zip that you flash in recovery over the ROM already installed.

didnt work :(

Just made a fresh enom ROM install after wiping everything. First thing i did is download meta morph and tried this theme. It didnt work. Status bar looks the same as it was before, no change at all. Am I doing something wrong?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
I just used that zip on another phone and it worked =/

When you selected this in metamorph did it tell you it was going to change the framework-res and the services.jar?

did it take a few seconds to perform both tasks?

did you reboot after performing the tasks?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksekhar:
Yes, yes and yes

it asked me reboot more than once actually... applied the theme 4-5 times, no change. Checked if busy box is installed or not and installed again from market to see if it helps but BIG NO :(
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
I'm really not sure :confused:

I did it on my phone and it worked on a fresh Enom install.

When it asked you to reboot did you actually reboot it yourself or push the "yes" button to reboot?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
I just tried this as well, and the same thing. I just pushed the 'yes' button from within metamorph to reboot.

One thing that might be affecting it is I'm back on 2.9.2 but I'd wager that the area you're playing with here are the same.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] ksekhar:
Yes I clicked "yes"

Never mind I am trying KOR cynogen mod and it actually is okay except slight lag... i can live with it :)

Thanks for the help thou.

EDIT: Flashed on Enom's version now and works perfect. Thank you.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
Hey guys MicroMod advised me that the MMs aren't working with Enom and Cyans ROMs and he helped me with creating a flashable zip from recovery. Check the OP again I've updated the links.

Thanks and sorry for the confusion.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
I removed the Mirror link it was the old file sorry :o

Here's the file for Enom's 2.10.1:

http://share1t.com/krzph3

I pulled my framework-res and took services.jar from Enom's PreThemed white text pack.

My framework-res includes the following changes from the usual Desire Bar here:

1) Modified stock data connectivity icons from my thread (read the thread to see, why I made them).

2) Stock battery indicator (the % are too large for DesireBar battery indicator, doesn't look good IMHO).

The services file is different in length, so I believe there are changes from 2.9.3 to 2.10.1 reflected there.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kiserai:
This is PERFECT! Exactly what I was looking for. I didn't like any of the other black notification bars for Enom and this is exactly what I was hoping somebody would someday make. Love the transparent background too.

Good job man. Thanks.

Updated OP for TheOfficial v2.10.2
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] PrawnPoBoy:
Thanks for this! Its always so hard to find a simple desire status bar without all the extras everytime a new rom is released...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
Haha I searched and searched and the frustration built up until I had to make it myself. I'll keep updating this as long as I have a N1 lol.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
for some reason when I flash this it removes my camera and gallery program. (maybe others too but those were the obvious ones). Took me a little while to isolate it to this update.

Here's how I come about it. Nandroid to a previous 2.10.1. Flash the base 2.10.2 update, and restart. Then restart into recovery and select this .zip and reboot. There are just the little generic green/white android place holders on my homescreen where they used to be and nothing in the drawer.

Ideas?

(love your handle, too btw ;))

EDIT:

I found out why....there's a script included that removes the camera and gallery. This is there in the nextheme zip and enom's because they replace it with a different one. If you want to just modify the status bar, you need to take out the remtool.sh command and rezip.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] scintillahx:
thanks for the work :D

I'm enjoying it!!!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
Yep, I just noticed this earlier. Thanks for the info! Updating it right now.

Edit: Yep, I had the wrong update script too, sorry about that. Everything should be fine now. Let me know.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
No prob. Actually I thought it was something I was doing wrong since I don't know my way around yet, lol.

I had actually flashed the updated zip that Jack_R1 posted on page 2, but it doesn't have all the bells and whistles yours does.

Thanks!
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] musashiken:
I tried flashing the zip after flashing Enom 2.10.2 in recovery but it says "E:Can't find update script"

Any tips?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
OK...got it to work. This is the version from the initial post, but modified to be an update.zip. Don't put this in metamorph. For testing, I nandroided back to base 2.10.2 and flashed this zip.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
@S_Dot

Have you seen this thread?

On the last page it mentions about working on enoms stuff, but I haven't tried. I'm not crazy about metamorph until they can make it to where you can turn a theme on and off without going through a nandroid restore.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
I like the white with black background icons from Sense UI. I personally can't stand the color icons on a black background so it's not really "pointless" you just don't like it. Which is perfectly fine because that's your opinion.

When I get a chance I will look into that. It looks like this thread will be turning into a "Notification Bar Only Theme" thread :)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carbeyaz:
@dumbestcrayon, at your first post in this thread, we see you have a 5 quick launch icons at taskbar (or whatever it is called). Could you tell me how you do this trick? I have Manup456's theme installed on enomther custom rom (latest version)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
Go to the market and search ADW.Launcher. It's a home replacement application. It has a LOT of settings and preferences and it's blazing fast.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Kiserai:
Any chance we can get back to the way the one looked for 2.10.1? I really liked the transparent notification shade and wasn't expecting that to disappear when I updated. I thought it was perfect just the way it was.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] pendo:
Mine's like that but I'm running the manup prethemed version...

cool stuff....can't wait to learn more:cool:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
I'm working on it right now. I'll update asap. (I'm tired of the white status bar myself already)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
Updated for Enom 2.11.1 tested on two phones.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carbeyaz:
That is fantastic news! I'm flashing it right now!

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] carbeyaz:
Btw, what about making this blackbar with circle battery percentage in middle? It would be really nice to have!

Np, thank you

Not exactly sure what you're talking about. Do you have an example?

Whether it's black&white or green, I really like the visualization of circle indicator.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
Okay, I'll look into it tonight. I'm also looking into changing some other things like the background of the popup windows, the search bar/address bar (browser) color, etc. I'm really tired of the bland looks of it.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] j.bruha:
Seems like everyone's jumping ship to Enomther from Cyanogen these days and I can see why. Can't wait for more theme development.

As for this theme, I second the vote for the circular green battery indicator (Kspec) and wouldn't mind either color or white icons for the rest of the status bar.

On that subject, the only thing keeping me from using this theme right now is the SMS notification icon is still black with a white smile instead of white like it should be, looks hideous. If only for this (and maybe a red Gmail icon), I would suggest a green SMS icon or at least a white icon instead.

Also, dark transparency in the notification window would be pretty sweet too.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Drew474:
Hi noticed these new set of icons for the black desire style notif bar over in the desire forums, wonder if they could be implemented on you black bar?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733682

What do you think?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] bmj1086:
Yes lol, I moved to Enomthers ROM when he first started releasing for the G1. I like Cyanogens work and I think he's really good at it but I like to chose my options. I love how Enom gives all possible mods as options in spare parts.

As far as your suggestions, I've been using Handcent with the notification icon options so I never paid attention. I'll change the icon and update soon. But first I'm going to figure out the transparent notification background because I don't know how to do that yet. Also I'm going to get the suggestion below working.

I sent jercik an email about how exactly to use the icons. He should be replying soon and I'll get these icons added. I like them a lot better as well.

Thanks to both of you for your suggestions! Look for an update soon (hopefully by tomorrow evening assuming that the devs reply to my messages by then)
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Drew474:

Super Circle Battery Mod

OK Here it is...the first of 3 different versions (hopefully ;))

**Designed for Enomther's Official v2.11.3**

This is the FULL VERSION of the Super Circle Battery mod as seen in the desire forum. All image design credit goes to them...well I modded a couple--took the desire phone out and put an N1:D

This is different than some of the other's I've seen here in the fact that I have the full increments of the Super Circle mod, not just 20, 40. 60, 80, 100. Mine has the FULL version with ALL battery images.

This first version is *very* lightly themed, and could use some more flair, but I wanted to get it out there in case some of you wanted to try it out. The little bit of theming I have done comes from DumbestCrayon's design here. I know he will be adding the full treatment of his touches and will update in the OP.

**NOTE**

You must turn off battery percentage in SpareParts. My images already have percentages in them, and will change images as the battery drains. For low battery states, the numbers become red :cool:

It's a zip style update, sorry I don't know how to make this work as a metamorph because of the changes I made to the resources and xml's.

I'd hoped to get this out sooner, but I'm very new and am still learning....so here's the B style battery, with White Lettering. It includes a basic black status bar.

Here's a quick sreenshot:

DOWNLOAD HERE

I'M STILL WORKING ON THE OTHERS, so just be patient. There will also be the above version with black numbers for those who prefer a lighter status bar.

Here's a screen shot of the next one I'm working on, it has grey numbers:

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AshMa:
I’m not trying to upset anyone here but I have to be honest about my first thoughts on the Galaxy screen. Tonight I stopped by a T-Mobile store and with my iPhone 4G and HTC Evo, I tried out the T-Mobile Vibrant. I had all 3 phones on, side by side and I really was not too impressed with the SGS screen due mostly to that awful screen door matrix.

When I held the SGS about 6 inches away from my eyes, I could clearly see the pixel grid (or whatever it’s called) and was just put off by it. I can honestly say that I feel the best looking screen is the iPhone’s without a doubt and the Evo comes in 2nd. The iPhone’s small screen is a pretty big problem for me but now I’m just not sure which device to stick with.

Am I really the only one who can see the matrix and is bothered by this??? I really wanted to just fall hard for this phone on first contact and I could have. It just drives me crazy that all 3 phones have really nice features and I’d gladly pay double if not triple to have the best of all 3 devices in one device………
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ZacJ:
You're right, the pixels do annoy me a little, only coz I'm a perfectionist...

The colours are beautiful though; and in normal use I never notice the pixels...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AshMa:
So I'm assuming you just got used to after a while? I was looking at the notification bar and the battery and other icons seemed to look kind of low res to me. I guess this is what people are talking about when they say it has larger pixels.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buddy01:
Not trying to be annoying, but you only see the pixels, because steve told you so.

I saw the pixels too, because steve told me to look at them, would have never looked if iphone 4's dpi wasn't so hyped.

I think the screen is very much amazing with full brightness, hope you checked that the one in the store was set to 100% brightness too and not just focus on the pixels.

Next time try to do something real with the phone, like watch youtube HD and then do the comparison to iPhone and you will be all happy again.

Good luck
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AshMa:
I see what you're saying but I guess I'm not really talking about the pixels but rather the type of screen used that gives that screen door look. Remember, I stated that I still have no issues with the Evo screen which I think looks much better in person than it does in photos online compared to the SGS screen.
